Hotel Living

MARC JACOBS has admitted that the inspiration for yesterday's provocative Louis Vuitton collection came from his time spent at a certain London hotel. SEE THE LOUIS VUITTON SHOW HERE

"[It] came from my experience at Claridge's," the designer told the Times. "I love it when I see these exquisite creatures coming out of the elevator. Some of them maids, hookers, mistresses...it's very interesting to see who leaves hotels at what time, and what they're wearing."

Models arrived at the catwalk in three constantly moving cage elevators, complete with bellboys, and were dressed as many of the workers and guests you might see at the hotel: from chauffeurs and receptionists to old-fashioned trophy wives and lovers in crystal handcuffs.
